[Samba] Re: problem with sambaNextRid (WAS: updating samba/ldap: do I need new attributes?)

[Adam Williams]

Oh, i calculate the RID by hand and add it with net groupmap add 
rid=xxxx ntgroup="what ever" unixgroup=whatever type=d

and i think your math is wrong, it is group # * 2 + 1001.

to get a UID's RID, it is uid * 2 + 1000.
